ModMyPi - PIR Night Vision Camera Box - B+/2/3/3B+
Can I hack it work with ir cut camera
I has an ir cut camera. I don't quite follow why this case won't work for an ir cut camera?
Also can I hack the case (drill holes etc) to make it work with ir cut camera?
-
The IR-CUT camera module has different screws and screw position making it incompatible.
You might be able to cut/drill the acrylic to make it work, but please not this will void your right to return the product should it not work.

Need for cooling
Do I need additional cooling for the night vision LEDS if I want to use this equipment ?
-
Whilst the IR LEDs do get quite warm to the touch, no cooling is required.Was this answer helpful?
